Problem:
The lack of protein consumption in Ecuador.
Idea:
We are using one of Ecuador´s most underrated ingredients, lupini beans, to create a protein bar that you can carry as an easy snack to eat on the go. Lupini beans have a lot of benefits including their amino acids and their value in protein. Taking advantage of high-quality ingredients to make a high-quality product is a priority for us so people can have a great option to add to their diet. Lupino protein bar comes in popular flavors such as chocolate, salted caramel and fruit based options.
Main Beneficiaries:
Our main targets are students and athletes, but our product has been created for everyone that wants an easy and delicious snack that provides a lot of benefits for their diet. Apart from that, we want to reach people who value a sustainable way of producing and manufacturing ingredients, a fair payment to the hard-working farmers and an eco-friendly alternative for their daily nutrition.
Stage:
